“ Impressive hotel in a central location ”

Reviewed Mar 17, 2016

A great hotel that is centrally located and in walking distance to most places worth visiting. At 22 stories, the hotel is the tallest building in Yangon. The rooms are very spacious and well appointed. Free WiFi is available to guests (a luxury in Yangon at the time of writing). The staff are very friendly, although, the service in the restaurant and lounge can be slow.

“ Peak season loses our room ”

First night was in twin (king single) beds as the hotel is full and the reservation I made for king sized bed seemed to be a preference or not confirmed, but the next day we move rooms to one with a view of the pagoda.
The pool is out of sorts, unfortunately, but the concierge arranges free transport across to the Shangri-La Residences to enjoy a swim there.
We appreciate that gesture, and it gave us a chance to walk around Kan Daw Gyi lake.

Travel Blogs from Yangon (Rangoon)

We started our morning back at Bogyoke Aung San Market (Scott Market) where I bought a man's longyi, bargaining the store owner down to 4,500 kyat (about $4.00 AUD) and Pip and I each bought a lacquerware teapot. Well, I bought 2 teapots - one for me and one for Meg. The quality wasn't anywhere near as good as those at the lacquerware workshop, but …

So after a week of trying to lay low and spend as little money as possible I finally got my passport back and made it to Myanmar. This country seems beautiful so far and there are many things to see over the next couple of days while I am here. After spending a couple of nights in Yangon, I will head to an area called Bagan on a train. It should be …

MAY 22, 2016 (Yangon) After breakfast, we transfer to Dalanzadgad for our charter flight back to Ulaanbaatar to meet up with our private jet for the flight to Myanmar. Upon arrival in Myanmar, we enjoy a sunset tour of Yangon’s Shwedagon Pagoda, a dazzling structure that has dominated the city’s skyline for more than 1,000 years …

Pip acted as tour guide today, mapping out a number of 'must see' sights for us to go to. After a leisurely breakfast we changed some money and then walked to the Bogyoke Aung San Market, also known as Scott Market. This huge covered market has more than 2,000 shops and is credited to be the best place to buy souvenirs. We didn't buy anything. Pip …
